What it reported doing in 2025
Coordinated assistance network is a financial literacy organization devoted to improve the quality of life of those who have worn our nations uniform, and their families by providing unparalleled solutions that focus on financial security and support in pursuing their economic goals. More than creating financial solutions, we add the unique capability of enabling non-profit partners to demonstrate their commitment and concern for americas veterans through financial eduation and counseling. Veteransplus continued to form many new relationsips bonded through financial counseling and educations. In 2011, veteransplus developed the yellow ribbon network. The yellow ribbon network (yrn) is a national clearinghouse for sharing information and history of applicant requests for financial assistance provided by non-profit partners. The yrn automatically pre-screens and verifies certain background information of an individual or family seeking assistance. This process determines which partner organization is best suited to meet their needs of each hero.
